lstrip("\n[PDF content]:") treats the argument as a character set,
not a prefix, so it chews into the following [Page N text]: marker —
e.g. turning [Page 1 text]: into "age 1 text]:". The correct helper
strip_pdf_content_marker (which uses removeprefix) already exists in
the same file and is used by other call sites.

_process_pdf prepends "\n\n[PDF content]:" to extracted text, and two
call sites in document_routes.py stripped it with .lstrip("\n[PDF content]:").
str.lstrip(chars) treats its argument as a *set of characters*, so it keeps
eating into the page text that follows the marker — e.g. a body starting
with "to the board" loses its leading "to" because 't'/'o' are in the
marker's character set. Replace both sites with a shared
strip_pdf_content_marker() helper that uses str.removeprefix.
Office documents were dropped server-side: .docx fell through to
"[Attached document file]", .xlsx/.pptx weren't recognized at all, and
the personal-docs RAG index only covered txt/md/json/pdf.
Wire the optional markitdown dependency (MIT, Microsoft) into both the
chat-attachment path (build_user_content) and the RAG indexer
(personal_docs), converting .docx/.xlsx/.pptx/.xls/.epub to Markdown.
It is lazy-imported with graceful fallback (mirrors src/pdf_runtime.py):
without it those formats show an "install to extract" banner and the
MIT core is unaffected. pypdf stays the default PDF path.
- src/markitdown_runtime.py: optional-dep loader + convert_to_markdown
- upload_handler: recognize Office/EPUB extensions + MIME types
- document_processor: extract Office docs in the chat else-branch
- personal_docs: index Office docs (DEFAULT_EXTENSIONS + dispatch)
- requirements-optional.txt + ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.md: pinned markitdown 0.1.5
- tests: markitdown_runtime + office index coverage
